    That creativity. A class based shooter that has fortress in it's name.

    To be fair, it was created before TF2 and definitely based on TFC, but that was under the assumption that TF2 was never going to happen.

    I remember the FF dev specifically said that Valve refused to greenlight them a while back. Why has that changed? I would totally play this if there were enough people, by the way. I had a map from TFC remade in FF almost completely. Remember thecove map?

    There doesn't seem to be a consistent art style in FF. Half the maps look like HL2, half don't, lots look really old, and the player models are quite dire, even for a source game.

    TFC = HL1 graphics. as a matter of fact, TFC = HL1 textures

    You guys have to realize this game/mod came out right before TF2, and it was/is just being made by people with free time for fun. just to put it in perspective.

    This definitely isn't a game for people who spend their time posing in Blitz.

    (Also, I'm not necessarily advocating for the game - I haven't played the game in years because it's yet another niche game for today's standards. funny how I'm drawn to games with not enough people playing them)

    I think there's a typo in the OP. This looks exactly like a terrible, buggy class-based shooter.

    How can you even pretend that that is a selling point?

    I'm here.

    Bhopping is a selling point, because a reliable method of acceleration equals to faster-paced gameplay. Shooters are supposed to be fast, no? Plus, movement beyond "press shift for instant mobility skill" or "lol press space shootmania so hard" adds so much skill ceiling and can be so much ******* fun. Legitimately, it's just fun to run around on a map by yourself, because the physics systems allows for incredibly fast yet fluid movement.

    OT: Upvoted, ofc.

    Edit: Also bhopping =/= strafejumping btw

    I wouldn't say shooters are inherently supposed to be fast. There's types of shooters other than CoD-alikes that are slow and work.

    Well of course, I play single player games for the story and what looks good really, most single player games don't bring the diversity in gameplay like a multiplayer game does.
